Hi wolfie,

netzero and Juno have merged and I know several people that are more than happy with them. I'm going to use Juno (the same) for some family members who have a tight budget.

Hi wolfie,

I have both friends at work, and family members, and they all use Juno and have no complaints. So, Juno is what I'm going to install on the email boxes I'm building from spare parts (AMD K6-2 units) .

Small world, ah?? I have so many old computer parts that are old enough that I can't even give them away, so I'm glad to find a use for at least some of it..

I've been using Juno for about a year and a half now and like it very much. Fast connection speeds and no dropped connections. Did I mention cheap.
Im not crazy about their e-mail program though. I've got a hotmail and a softhome account that I use instead of the Juno e-mail.

I've been on Netzero Platinum for about a year now and haven't had one complaint... No problems connecting ever!

For $9.95US per month, you can't beat it for dial-up!

I dont know if it has changed or not but Juno and netzero were correctly accused of selling their clients computer time to distributed computer projects. read the agreement carefully

It isnt illegal, because you agreed to it. It is sneaky.

Send a message via ICQ to Eric H. Send a message via AIM to Eric H.
when juno was on it's own, it decided to eradicate IE when my dad went to uninstall it, and he ended up about $200 in the hole after needing to buy windows 98 (from 95) and trips to the local PC mechanic.

I won't touch the software.
